The second is self published because the issues are controversial but excellent for discussions of emotional subjects like abortion and family planning, working and unemployment, poverty, alcoholism, abuse etc. Choices is published by the University of Kentucky Press for around $5-$6. Both books have been used in programs in Ohio with good feedback.

Our literacy program is a new effort and so the women and their reading levels are unknown at this point.
